Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it impossible by any means. The main issues are accuracy and power. The reflectors exact coordinates were kept recorded, meaning all you need to do is determine the spot relative to the rest of the moon, account for any movement (which given that the light reaches the moon and is back in about 2.6 seconds is negligible) and fire a powerful enough light beam that the equipment you have can pick it up when it returns.
I am loving getting to see the real Brian Cox. Thanks for posting these videos! :)

Love this guy.
I was going to say that the soothing sounds of "Winds of Change" might be nice to bathe to until the arachnid point was added.
Suffering burns from the gravity programme, sounds so much better than what it actually was.
He is beyond adorable
@VanHalen383 haha, I love the way you know a SCORPION is an arachnid/anthropod but don't know how it's spelled. ;D
@danw087 It's programme if you're British and talking about a TV programme.
This man is disarmingly normal. Like my wife... (She's from Lancashire, too.)
@rachaelblanc 41 ! wow i thought he graduated the other week.
@pennydesouza
I don't know how this guy could be irritating to anyone...he always comes across as an intelligent and affable.
Wasn't in his contract 😅"Scorpions"
Love his accent. He doesn't tone down the Manc does he lol
I've always found him irritating but in these 'candid' clips he's really likeable.

@rachaelblanc Professor Brian Cox a lucky man? It`s his wife, Gia,who`s the lucky one.!
I'm the only person who dislikes this guy.
Seems like he's turning gay , to me. Might be just the "kerchief"....
